Goredema Jameson; Masilo France Machaba; Mogalatjane Edward Matabane – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2023
This case study explored Grade 12 learners' misconceptions in limits of functions. The study aimed at understanding problems that learners face in learning the concepts of limit by analyzing misconceptions that learners have and identifying the possible sources of these misconceptions to take remedial action. An exploratory research design was…

Stehle, Stephanie M. – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Students come to their high school physics classroom with experiences and knowledge that can be used to help explain physics concepts, but those experiences may not fully align with the scientifically accepted science concept. When there is a misalignment between a student's prior knowledge and the scientifically accepted concept a misconception…

Parhizgar, Zakieh; Dehbashi, Atefe; Liljedahl, Peter; Alamolhodaei, Hassan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Many studies have investigated students' problem-posing activities. However, there has not been a strong focus on affective aspects in mathematical problem-posing. Also, students' understanding of the function concept whilst generating functions has not previously been investigated. This paper investigated students' misconceptions of the function…

Soneira, Carlos – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
In this article, we examine how 10th graders make use of different intertwined representations when solving algebraic word problems. It is structured in a quantitative phase, with 61 students and a subsequent follow-up case study with nine pairs of students. We found that drawings and tables, used as auxiliary representations within variants of…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We present action research of a problem posed as part of a multi-participant national (Israeli) test checking the mathematical knowledge of high school students at the ages of 16-17, where some of those who solved this problem made an error by using the converse to a well-known theorem, where the converse is not true. In order to examine the…

Reid O'Connor, Bronwyn – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2022
Quadratic equations are a notorious topic for the challenge it provides to students in secondary mathematics. Despite this, there is limited research, particularly in the Australian context, that explains why such challenges persist. This article details the causes of Year 11 students' difficulties in solving quadratic equations. Observing…

Moeketsi Mosia; Mogalatjane Edward Matabane; Tshele John Moloi – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2023
Euclidean geometry provides an opportunity for learners to learn argumentation and develop inductive and deductive reasoning. Despite the significance of Euclidean geometry for developing these skills, learner performance in mathematics, particularly geometry, remains a concern in many countries. Thus, the current study examined the nature of…

Tšhegofatšo Phuti Makgakga – Online Submission, 2023
This article provides insights into Grade 11 learner understanding of the roots of quadratic equations, how learners used solution strategies to find equations with given roots, how they determine the unknown values and the other root when one root is given and how they determine the unknown values when two roots of the equation are given. The…

Chiew Leng Ng; Cheng Meng Chew – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Despite statistics learning becoming more important during this information explosion era, many students still deem the subject complex and challenging. Measures of dispersion, a critical component of statistical knowledge that students often struggle with, have received little attention in research on statistics education. The goal of this study…

Ansari, Bansu Irianto; Saleh, Muhamad; Nurhaidah; Taufiq – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
Considering the low achievement of Indonesian students in international studies (PISA), which measures Higher-Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) in solving the problem, improving the quality of mathematics learning in Indonesia is very important. The purpose of this research was conducted to explore the variations in students' learning strategies and…

Viwe Tunzana; Angel Mukuka; Benjamin Tatira – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2025
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a remedial teaching intervention in improving learners' understanding of trigonometric equations. Using a mixed methods exploratory case study design, a purposive sample of 24 Grade 11 learners from a rural school in the Eastern Cape province participated in the intervention. The research involved…

Joel B. Mendoza; Minie Rose C. Lapinid – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Teachers are often perplexed realizing students ending up with different understandings of the same lesson after attending the same class. This study investigates the use of Variation Theory as a pedagogical design tool in improving students' problem-solving skills in trigonometry. This action research utilizing the 'Learning Study' approach was…

Amyett, Monica Kay – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study explored how instructional guide documents and high school engineering teachers understand the concept of mindset and the instructional practice of feedback as students engage in classroom problem-solving activities. From data analysis, several important conclusions were made. High school engineering teachers create a classroom climate…

Sánchez Sánchez, Ernesto; García Rios, Víctor N.; Silvestre Castro, Eleazar; Licea, Guadalupe Carrasco – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
In this paper, we address the following questions: What misconceptions do high school students exhibit in their first encounter with significance test problems through a repeated sampling approach? Which theory or framework could explain the presence and features of such patterns? With brief prior instruction on the use of Fathom software to…
